I'm forwarding this message to both the Finale and Sibelius groups, in
case anybody is interested in exploring Dorico. Using the code DORICO30
you can get 30% off of either Dorico 2 or Dorico Elements 2 (a lighter
version of Dorico) for this week only apparently.

Both of those programs also have free demo versions you can download and
explore.

I'm not trying to push it on anybody but I know some people might be
curious. Version 2 brought many major improvements over version 1.

I freely admit that I am still not very fluent in Dorico, knowing that
it will take me a lot of work to master it, but I also know there are
people in both Finale and Sibelius groups who have taken to Dorico and
are doing major projects in it.

There is a forum at steinberg.net for people who want to get a sense of
how users are faring with the product.

Dorico still uses their elicenser software or their extra-cost USB
dongle, so for people who are vehemently opposed to such anti-piracy
methods, nothing has changed and you probably won't want to explore
Dorico beyond the demo versions (I don't know if those have any
anti-piracy methods since they're freely distributed by Steinberg.)

However, given the lack of forward motion in Sibelius and the lack of
substantive improvements in Finale beyond the automatic stacking of
articulations, Dorico may well be the future of professional level
computer notation software.
